School Meals

We believe that lunchtime should be the highlight of the day for everyone at Petersfield Church of England Aided Primary School. We want to help children gain a real appreciation for good quality food, where it comes from, how it’s produced and why healthy food is important. School meals are provided by HCL. They provide delicious, nutritious and healthy meals every day.

Together we offer children a wonderful choice of hot food, fresh vegetables, freshly baked bread, fresh fruit, yogurt, jacket potatoes… there really is something for everyone. All meals are cooked from fresh ingredients every day, Sugarwise accredited and prepared on-site.

You can pay for school meals on the My Child at School (MCAS) app. MCAS is our online payment system which we have introduced to simplify the way parents pay for school meals, school visits, music lessons and also for the Puffins Out of School club. Dinner money can be paid as and when necessary to keep your account in credit. There is the flexibility to pay weekly, termly or as you choose to suit you. Meals must be paid for in advance.
